INFECTIOUS COMPLICATIONS DURING PREGNANCY IN WOMEN WITH SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS: A RETROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that predominantly affects women and is associated with an increased risk of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes during pregnancy. However, data regarding the occurrence and determinants of infectious complications in pregnant women with SLE remain limited. This study aimed to compare the incidence of infections during pregnancy in women with and without SLE and to identify clinical factors associated with the development of infectious complications.
